Birthday bunting

I have a bit of a thing for bunting... 

I also have a thing for rainbows & birthdays

So when you pop all these lovely things together you get

beautiful rainbow birthday bunting!

 Making birthday bunting has been on my list for awhile

And finally, just before Winter I started creating my own

Using some beautiful wool felt... in rainbow colours

hand sewn with rainbow thread

{is there such a thing as too much rainbow?}

 

Then I got stuck.

My pennants were made, and needed to be joined together.

For some reason though, I have developed a bit of sewing machine fear

Luckily my friend Andj came to the rescue with some hand sewn bias binding for me...

and my mother-in-law sewed the bunting together

A special team effort then *smile*

I'm hoping this bunting will be a special part of our family birthdays

Something that the kids see that brings a little bit of ceremony to our celebrations

Happy days,
Kelly
